Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. vikāraḥ (विकारः) from 12.3.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tadutpatter (तदुत्पत्तेर्) + vā (वा) + prava-cana-lakṣaṇa-tvāta (प्रव-चन-लक्षण-त्वात)
